I have NO project to work== 0. The major reason for that 1 Rename Attachment ==This Extension will rename attachments. Here is I would like to work on Thunderbird and We don't have any to work more info regarding the Extension.http://zenit.senecac.on. But, Dave provided me with some useful features which are helpful in some casesca/wiki/index. php/User:Rename_Attachment
One of them == 0.2 Attachment Reminder ==Hot Hot Hot Hot Bug!!! This feature will remind user to attach attachments. So, no more "Sorry, I forgot the attachments. Here it is renaming the attachment in Compose Mail option.Sorry, ..." !
= Lab5 =http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Attachment_Reminder
These are == 0.3 Attachment Reminder == Just going to expand more features on Attachment Reminder Bug. Make it more user friendly. One of the ways to make it user friendly is to allow user to add new keywords which Thunderbird will look for in the body of the email. http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Attachment_Reminder == 0.4 Attachment Reminder ==I forgot to write about this one. If you need to read more about this click [http://cdpatel1.blogspot.com/2009/01/attachment-reminder-04.html[here]]. == 0.5 Attachment Reminder==In this release I have addressed all the issues raised in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455#c33[comment]].I would encourage more and more people to download my [http://www.geocities.com/chinmay_patel@ymail.com/attachmentreminderPatcho5Beta.txt[patch]] and provide me some feedback. Moreover, I have created a [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Cdpatel1#Suggestion_BOX[suggestion box]] in my profile page, feel free to edit it. == 0.6 (Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY) ==This is a combined release of two BUGs: Attachment Reminder and LIBNOTIFY Notifications. I think, this could be the last patch for Attachment reminder. But, I am open to work more if needed. My another task is to make Thunderbird notify new emails through LIBNOTIFY. I have started working on it and set up the required environment for the BUG. Here is the 3 [http://www.geocities.com/chinmay_patel@ymail.com/patch_06_INDIA.txt[PATCH]]. == 0.7 Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY + Tango Icons ==This release was a mix of three bugs that are not perfectly related . [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment reminder bug]], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[Libnotify bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]]. It looks like, the Thunderbird community doesn't need the integration of LIBNOTIFY at the moment. I have submitted couple of patches to the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[bug]], but it has no more requirement. Eventually, I have to drop the bug. Moreover, I am going through my project worst period in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment Reminder]] bug because I am not having any work done. I am submitting the patches but still somewhat related to itdoesn't apply properly. They say that it the patch is bitrotten. Here What else can be happen if I they are checking the patch after the 2 weeks of upload date? But, I can certainly understand their busy schedule and try my best to get work done. My prospect bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons bug]]. Currently, I don't have any idea what is going on with that bug. I only know that I am going to do that bug.
== 0.8 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==0.8 is the combined release for [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232500244455[Attachment Reminder Bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].
For the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448971244455[Attachment reminder bug]], I am getting somewhat impatience. I am trying my best and still not be able to get it done. Improper apply of the patch and building errors for the patch are killing me. I am not getting the reason why my patches are creating so much issues in other machines? I guess, I have to create the patch and ask David Humphrey, if he can apply my patch and build Thunderbird. Hopefully, next will be my last patch.
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349547483777[Tango Icons bug]] is the most interesting bug for me. It contains some user interface stuffs that I like the most. In this bug, I have to apply the patch created by Andreas Nilsson, one of the community member, and make the patch compatible to the hg mercurial. In this bug, I have learned about combination of CSS, XUL and images in Thunderbird code.
= Building Currently, I feel that I am getting all sorts of experience in the Thunderbird code. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I am feeling more satisfied and versatile. After working on Vista with Visual Studio 2008 =all these bugs, I am more confident that I will be able to handle everything that comes to me in terms of coding.
== 0.9 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==This release is a landmark to me. I have blogged about it on got the Attachment Reminder fixed. Megnus came up with the patch including my blog pageerrors fixed and adding some extra features. If you want help or referenceHowever, you can go I still need to apply that patch, edit if required and ask for UI review. It will surely done by the link below and look at itend of the semester.

Evenhough It sounds so easy, it requires a lot of manual coding. Apart from all the work that I have to finish, I will try my best to get this bug done in next two weeks.html
